If you’re looking to buy a printer for a home office, your best bet is likely a laser printer 🖨.
They’re significantly more reliable than inkjets over time, and churn out pages of text faster, too.

And if you buy a black-and-white laser, your per page printing costs will likely be much less than an inkjet.
No ink nozzles means clogs aren’t a problem for inkjets either. Plus, inkjets don’t waste toner on maintenance 🤷‍♀️.

The emergence of potentially faster spreading variants of the coronavirus is increasing concern about the virus’s path. The variant causing the most alarm has prompted new lockdown restrictions within the United Kingdom.

🧵 Here's what we know about it: Rendering of coronavirus
The US now requires that people arriving here from the UK to test negative by a PCR or antigen test no more than 72 hours before departure.

Experts note that viruses always mutate. This virus, like many others, constantly acquires and loses genetic traits as it spreads.
• Why Do Viruses Mutate?

Viruses like SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, make imperfect copies of themselves as they spread from person to person or from an animal to a person, leading to constant mutations and new variants, says Peter Katona, MD, of @dgsomucla.

Is more exercise part of your New Year's resolution?

With gyms and in-person exercise classes off-limits to many people these days because of COVID-19 concerns, it can be tricky to know where to start.

Follow this advice to return to exercise safely. 🧵
• ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅᴏᴄᴛᴏʀ

This is a must if you have a chronic health condition, recovering from an injury, or COVID-19.

But it’s also a good idea if you’re generally healthy—your doctor may have personalized advice to help you get the most out of your efforts.
• ꜱᴛᴀʀᴛ ʟᴏᴡ, ɢᴏ ꜱʟᴏᴡ

Increase time, distance, and intensity gradually. “This isn’t something you can do overnight,” says Dr. Keri L. Denay. But you’ll reap benefits such as less anxiety and improved sleep right away.

How to use an air purifier when a family member has COVID? 🧵

To use a HEPA purifier at home to help prevent transmission of the virus to other family members, place the unit three feet from the person who is sick with COVID-19.
Run it 24 hours a day on the highest setting that won’t disturb the sick person’s sleep.

In addition, keep the air purifier separated from anything that can obstruct airflow, such as curtains or furniture, and keep the door to the room closed.
Take extra precautions when handling the air purifier and changing the HEPA filter. According to early studies, the coronavirus can live on plastic and steel, both materials air purifiers are commonly made of, for up to three days.

Don’t touch the air purifier while it’s in use.

One takeaway from today's #AppleEvent is that the new iPad will be ditching the lighting cable in favor of USB-C.

A lot of consumers are still confused about Type-C connectors and how they differ from all the other connectors out there.

So here's what you need to know 🧵:
Type-C plugs can do the work of any other USB connector, but they are small enough to fit into mobile devices (like a phone or tablet) as well as computers.

They’re about the same size as Micro-B and just half of the height of Type-A ports.
That means electronics makers won't need to use the Micro, Mini, and other types of USB ports anymore.

As lightning cables and other USB's begin to be phased out, you should be able to pack fewer cables into your travel bag.
